Last year at a camp I met a really neat boy who was 14 and was an artist. He did not have great English but it was still enjoyable to talk with him. He was a very deep thinker and loved to talk about very deep meaning of life questions. He was a boy that camp leaders had specifically wanted to have come to camp. It was really amazing that he actually had come to a "Church" camp. As the week progressed we began to notice how much he seemed to be enjoying himself even though he was among church people. On the second to last day of camp the leader of the camp shared the gospel. There was time afterwards for people to sit down and talk. When asked what he thought about the message and the gospel. This young boy replied, "I like it, it is like dating this relationship with Jesus. I have enjoyed the first date and am interested in a second but I do not know if I am ready for a relationship." This was so impressive to me. This boy was really thinking about this decision. I think that a lot of times we make decisions in life on the basis of emotions. I wish that I could be more like this boy when I make decisions. I feel that I too often make decisions on emotion!
